q Southern MaPaZine.

Another effort is to be made to estab-
lish southern literary magazine-this
time in New Orleans. The enterprise
will be backed by large capital, and it
is proposed that the publication shall
be first-class in every respect. A con-
temporary, speaking Of the prospects
of the venture, says that "a southern
literary magazine cannot succeed now
upon the idea that it is merely a south
ern magazine. 1t must aim for higher
scope if il is designed to carry southern
thought into mid-stream. Neverthc
less, there is better field in the South
now for magazine that will develop
and foster southern literary talent than
there ever was before. recognition
OF southern writers 10y northern maya
zine publishers has not only created a
demand in the North for southern lite
nary productions, but has quickened
southern appreciation of southern lite
rary genius. For the first time in the
history of the South have conditions
been reached that justify the belief that
a southern magazine would be well sup
ported by our own people, and at the
same time receive fair patronage from
the North. In fact, it may be said that
never before has the South had any
encouragement to establish magazine
ON. a national basis, or rather without
regard to section.

The Honr Resoiution-Again.

The Hoar Observation-Disclosures
The Springfield Mass Rcp"btico",
in discussing Mr.. HoAB's Texas resolu-
ton, wires in and wires out in most re-
markable fashion. After admitting
that all sorts of disturbances take place
in the North and the West without in
the slightest ruffling HoAR, HAwLEY,
EDMUSps & Co., the Rcls"btvan adds;
"But the petitions OF four alleged
Republicans OF Texas, complaining that
they have suffered civil outrage on ac-
count of their party, immediately
arouses Mr.. Hoar's attention, notwlth-
standing the fact that at least BLOOD
Republicans in Texas voted for Blaine
in 1884 and lived through it. Now If
only four out of Zoo raise the cry OF
outrage this proposition might he
matched by sufferers for political opin-
ions seke in Worcester.
So far so good. Had the RcpuJiican
stopped there its article would have been
consistent. But it continues:
"The true position for the South to
take, il seems to us, is to court inyesti-
cation"
Again:
"The southern representatives should
decline to put political Interpretation
upon the occasional cases about which
inquiry is asked for, but regard them
rs part of the general question of the
successful maintenance of civil order
which is now seriously embarrassing
the country"
And now We ask why does not the
Republican court investigation of the
Worcester affair, whatever that may be-
Weanswer for it. A senatorial investiga-
tion of disorder in Massachusetts, would
raise howl in the Bay State that
would shake Plymouth Rock as if it
had been truck by an earthquake. As
TO the South declining to put "a political
Interpretation upon the occasional
cases, We are certain that if our con-
temporary meant that seriously It's wits
must have been wool-gathering.

The Lumber Supply,

THE New York Sun, in an article on the
lumber supply. says "The diminntion
in the lumber product of the North
western States is counterbalanced by
the rapidly-increasing output from the
southern hard-pine forests. especially
from those of Western Louisiana and
Eastern Texas, where great deal of
northern capital made in the northern
pineries has been invested during the
last three or four years, and where
many new mills have recently been
built And the San might have added
that not only the southern pine forests,
but all other forests in the South which
furnish lumber for building and manu-
facturing purposes, are being raidedhy
northern capitalists. Our people should
keep THAT fact in view 10 the end that
an interest may be awakened in tree
planting.

LYScHBUBG, February i, 1881
The tobacco statement for the past
week continues to indicate an increase
in the amount of sales, those for last
week exceeding that of the previous
week 107, 700 pounds. The total sales
wero 447, COO pounds. Nearly all OF
the tobacco sold here during the past
two weeks came by railroad, and no III
considerable quantity Was from Ten,
nessesand North Carolina. The goo.i
weather with which the present week
opens is calculated to have a good eiiecs
on the country roads to the extent OF
making them at least passable. In that
event the receipts by wagon will neces-
sarily add largely to the offerings at the
warehouses the present week. The class
who are compelled to bring their to-
bacco to this market by tho country
roads have been almost entirely cut on
for weeks by reason of the impossible
condition Of the latter. Good and me-
dunn tobacco has been, and continues
to bring, encouraging prices but inte-
rior and low grades do not pay for the
transportation, and would be much
more proftably used at home as fertili-
GERS.
4. d. Jennings, Esq, assumed the
duties OF postmaster yesterday evening

braced by the employees to present the
retiring postmaster, Mr.. Button, with
handsome gold-headed cane, upon
which was inscribed: "To Hon Charles

Nr. Charles r. Jennings, brother Of
the late deputy, had resigned and would
be succeeded 10y 7. NJ. Harwood. This

FEARFUL RIDE OF DEATH.
Speedy Justice Melted out 20 Il Kan
ens Rrutp.

Speedy justice Actfn ONt 80 - AAhh-
sns Brute.
4 Ieayenworth (kan.) special says
On Thursday night last Richard Woods,
a negro, who had been employed by f.
Y. Starns, a prominent farmer OF Della
ware township, assaulted Mary Eddie
man, Stnrns's adopted daughter. Woods
waylaid the child when she was return
ing from school, and left her for dead
in a ravine. He was captured on Fri
day and lodged III jail here the same
day.
Threats of lynching were freely
made, but it was thought that the strong
walls and doors of the Jail would prevent
Il mob from getting him out should an
attempt be made. This morning about
o'clock the jailer was awakened by
loud knocks at the jail door, and in re-
ply to his inquiry a voice on the ont.
side informed him that they had pri-
soner for him.
The jaler commenced dressing, but
the noise on the outside increased, and
heavy blows on the door warned
him of the object of his visitors.
He fastened to the telephone to
alarm the police, but before reply
had been received from the Cen
trail station the door was broken in and
the jailer was thrown violently to the
Aoor. The telephone was smashed to
pieces by blow from sledge-hammer,
and the keys TO the cells were secured
from the frightened jailer. In twink
ling the mob had Woods in their pos
session. As soon rs they got outside
the building rope was placed around
his neck and the other end tied to the
pommel of saddle. Some of the mob
were in favor OF shooting Woods then
and there, but the leader Sternly forbade
il. and ordered his followers to mount.
The negro, paralyzed with fear, could
not find voice to utter word, except
once or twice whenbe ejaculated, "Oh,
Lord :" When the party We're seated
in their saddles the leader shouted,
Forward " the horses responded TO
the spurs. and with "A sudden jerk of
the rope the black brute was landed on
his back and the ride ~ dc..,L WAS COM
menccd.
The cayalcadc rode through the
streets, ma ing many turns, and never
halting until they had gone fully a
mile. Then they dismounted and
severed the rope from the saddle, after
satisfying themselves that their victim
was dead. His body presented q
shocking spectacle. II was entirely
nude, with the exception of portion
of one leg, on which a part of thepants
remained, aud small piece of fan
mel shirt on one wrist. There was d
deep cash on the head where it had
come in contact with u rock; the neck
was lacerated by the rope, and the
body was otherwise bruised and cut.
The mob mounted their horses and
dispersed in different directions. 50
quietly had their work been done that
the citizens on the streets through
which they passed were not aroused,
and it was not until the alarm had been
given Ivy the iailer that the people knew
what had taken place. An inquest was
held and a verdict returned that Woods
came to his death at the hands of par
ties unknown. 1t is not thought pro-
bable that any further official investiga-
ton will be made, rs there is general
feeling in the community that Woods
richly deserved his fate.

nALDwIN's GREAT JUMP.
Sensational Descent TO the Ground
from Balloon on a Parachute.

A San Francisco special says Cling
ing to parachute 7. s. Baldwin leaped
this afternoon from Il balloon over a
thousand feet up in the sir, thus making,
it is believed, the biggest drop jump on
record. Baldwin is the man who walked
on tight rope from the Cliff House to
Seal Rocks last summer, and who
claims to have passed across Niagara
Falls on some slim support.
His last feat took place in an en-
closure outside GOlden-Gate Park, and
was witnessed by about twelve thou
sand people The balloon Was Profess
sor Van Tassel's Eclipse, and at B
o'clock Baldwin appeared in fleshings
and spangles. He vaulted lightly into
the basket. To this was attached what
looked like an enormous white canvas
umbrella ahoat ten feet long, closed up,
and with u fixed trapeze in place of a
handle. At Baldwin's signal the rope
attached to the balloon was payed ont
until a triile over thousand feet had
been reelcd off the windlass.
IfAflf0 lNIO SEAtE.
Baldwin was then seen to step on the
rim of the basket, and, grasping the
trapeze in his hands, gave shout and
jumped into space. For a second
athlete and canvas attached fell with
lightning speed, while great scream
went up from below. Another second
and the parachute opened, and the fall
was so visibly arrested that the machine
and man halted in mid air like great,
strange bird. Then grayitation a.
serted itself, and once more Baldwin
began to fall. The rush downward in
creased with every foot, until the We
locity was frightful, and again people
began TO scream.
DIDN'T MIND 1T A BIT.
An instant and Baldwin was crashing
through branches Of small wattle-trees.
Thousands rushed 10 his aid, but, pick
ing himself up, he threw back sooner.
